I don’t believe all babies need a tongue tie release and I will work with you and your baby to help guide you the best possible route should any oral restrictions be assessed. I typically recommend some type of bodywork prior to and after release and we will work together to determine what that looks like for your baby!  I don’t put every baby in a box because each one is different!

I have additional training in oral restrictions from Dr Ghaheri and his course on tongue ties as well as training in pumping and bottle feeding through babies in common. See their published research article here on getting fitted for a smaller flange size for pumping.

I am passionate about teaching breastfeeding in the prenatal period. I realize the importance of this having primarily worked in private practice but also in the lactation department at my local hospital for a year. Once you’re in the thick of it, it’s much harder to learn and retain information. I love to give you the tools you need before your baby is born so hopefully you and your baby get breastfeeding off to a great start. Basically, I try to put myself out of a job LOL You will find more information about my prenatal breastfeeding class at www.joyfullactation.com/services
